Description

Circuit arrangement
The present invention relates to the circuit arrangement of an electric light of a kind of manipulation, it is provided with:
-produce the ballast device of lamp current with supply voltage,
-wherein stored a memory of the correlation of many electric light parameters relevant with temperature,
-be used for changing the device that is coupled in this memory that electric light moves with variation of temperature.
The sort circuit device has been for No. 391383 well-known from European patent.All preheating, igniting and each parameters relevant with temperature that relates to a discharge lamp all are stored in the memory of this known circuit arrangement.Regulate for example preheat curent size and ignition voltage size by the temperature sensor measurement temperature and according to the temperature value of measuring.Thereby make lamp electrodes preheating and the lamp ignition temperature that conforms.Not only required preheat curent and required ignition voltage, and the lumen output valve of electric light all has very strong dependence to temperature.By temperature sensor measurement temperature and the adjusting power that electric light consumed the lumen output of lamp is become and measure required value under the temperature, just can adapt to this temperature dependence, this just is equivalent in the European patent 391383 situation that the ignition voltage described and preheat curent are suitable for temperature, but the serviceability temperature transducer but makes the circuit arrangement suitable costliness complexity again that becomes.
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of circuit arrangement, can be in large-temperature range very, keep the luminous flux of the electric light handled with this circuit arrangement temperature independent basically, and the while, this circuit arrangement is again suitable simple cheap.
According to the present invention,, as above save described a kind of circuit arrangement and be characterised in that for reaching this purpose:
-each parameter comprises an electric current that flows through electric light, one at the voltage of electric light two ends and a luminous flux of electric light, and
-be used for comprising with the device of variation of temperature change electric light operation:
-be used to produce device I as a signal S1 of a tolerance of the voltage of electric light two ends,
-be used to produce device II as a signal S2 of a tolerance of the electric current that flows through electric light,
-be used to produce device III as a signal S3 of a tolerance of the desired light flux values of electric light,
-determine the device IV of electric light luminous flux according to memory and signal S1 and S2, and
-regulate the device V that electric light moves according to electric light luminous flux and signal S3.
During lamp working,, obtain the luminous flux of electric light from the voltage and the electric current that flows through electric light at electric light two ends according to memory and device I, II and IV.Because the method for definite luminous flux of the present invention does not adopt for example optical sensor or temperature sensor, so can decide luminous flux with fairly simple device.By determined luminous flux and signal S3, regulate the electric light operation by device V.The luminous flux that has been found that the electric light of handling by means of device in a circuit according to the invention is temperature independent basically in quite wide temperature range.Also find also have good starting characteristic by means of installing the discharge lamp of handling in a circuit according to the invention.This is the situation when containing amalgam as a kind of holder that appears at the material in the plasma during at the electric light steady operation when discharge lamp especially.Term " starting characteristic " here is interpreted as, and begins after the lamp ignition to the characteristic that increases luminous flux in electric light enters interim a period of time till the stable operation.For example have in discharge tube after low-pressure mercury discharge lamp (after this being referred to as electric light) igniting just of amalgam as the mercury holder, the temperature of amalgam is quite low.Consequently, have only small amount of mercury in the plasma, cause the electric light light flux ratio lower.The temperature of discharge lamp is owing to discharge raises after lamp ignition, so the temperature of amalgam also increases, consequently the quantity of the mercury that occurs in the plasma increases.Be directly proportional with mercury content in the plasma, the electric light luminous flux also increases.This luminous flux also can continue to increase, till the electric light temperature no longer further raises.Under many application scenarios, it is short as much as possible to wish to make the instantaneous value of electric light luminous flux after the lamp ignition to increase to time interval of electric light steady operation value.If with installing this kind of manipulation low-pressure mercury discharge lamp in a circuit according to the invention, then after the electric light one quilt igniting, device IV flows through the electric current of electric light with regard to the horse back basis and the voltage and the memory at electric light two ends determined luminous flux.Because this luminous flux is lower than desired value, device V makes the electric light operation do certain change, so luminous flux is increased.Its effect is exactly, and is with installing the electric light luminous flux of handling in a circuit according to the invention, just very high once the igniting back.After short time interval, along with entering stable lamp working, luminous flux just reaches substantially invariable value.
The circuit arrangement preferred embodiment is characterised in that according to the present invention, and many parameters relevant with temperature in the described discharge lamp all leave in the memory with the form of tabulation lattice.Find, in the case, can be with quite simple mode constituent apparatus IV.
Zhuan Zhi another preferred embodiment is characterised in that in a circuit according to the invention, and this circuit arrangement also is provided with in addition and can temporarily changes the current value that flows through electric light and from the variation of the relevant electric light parameter value of the one or more and temperature that causes thus and draw the device of the luminous flux of this discharge lamp according to memory.If be a side and be that the opposing party does not have clear and definite relation each other with the electric current that flows through electric light that with the electric light luminous flux then available this device is determined luminous flux (and temperature) with the voltage of electric light two ends.For example to the situation of low-pressure discharge lamp, such situation often appears: in a scope of the electric current that flows through electric light and in another scope of the voltage of electric light two ends, each combination of magnitude of voltage of flowing through the current value of electric light and electric light two ends is all corresponding to the temperature of two kinds of electric light plasmas, promptly corresponding to two kinds of light flux values.Be the luminous flux (temperature) that to determine electric light in this case, because power that electric light consumed during a time interval or the electric current that flows through electric light change.This just causes the reduction or the rising of electric light temperature.So after this time interval, be to raise or be reduction by determining one or more parameters relevant successively with temperature, just can determine two possible light flux values which be actual value.
Describe embodiments of the invention below with reference to accompanying drawings in detail, wherein:
Fig. 1 is the embodiment sketch that installs in a circuit according to the invention; And
The temperature of cold spot that Fig. 2 represents the small low-voltage mercury discharge lamp is as the voltage at low-pressure mercury discharge lamp two ends and flow through the function surface of the electric current of low-pressure mercury discharge lamp.
Among Fig. 1, B is the ballast device that produces lamp current from supply voltage.Ballast device B is provided with input K1 and the K2 that is connected with power voltage source.The cascaded structure of fluorescent tube La and Ohmic resistance R1 is connected with the output of ballast device B.Circuit part IV is configured for determining the device of fluorescent tube luminous flux.The common point of contact of fluorescent tube the 1st end, fluorescent tube and resistance and the resistance other end are coupled to three inputs of circuit part IV respectively.Voltage difference between preceding two inputs becomes signal S1, when it is lamp works to a tolerance of the voltage of fluorescent tube two ends.Coupling between fluorescent tube and preceding two inputs constitutes the device I that produces signal S1.Voltage difference forms a signal S2 between the 2nd and the 3rd input, and it is to flowing through a tolerance of lamp current when lamp works.Coupling between the 2nd, the 3rd input of resistance R 1 and circuit arrangement IV constitutes the device II that produces signal S2.Circuit part IV and memory M coupling.Memory M stores lamp tube current, the voltage of fluorescent tube two ends and the relation between the luminous flux of flowing through by the form of tabulation lattice.Circuit part VI and switch element VIa are configured for the temporary transient device that flows through lamp tube current that changes jointly.Circuit part VIa constitutes a signal generator, and it is used to produce a signal, so that the up-to-date bulb electric current that records by current segment Vb is increased, for example, 10%.The 1st output of circuit part IV is connected with the 1st input of comparator Va.Comparator Va constitutes the device that produces an analog signal, and this signal is a tolerance to the difference of the actual luminous flux value of determining by memory and the light flux values that requires.The 2nd output of circuit part IV is connected with the 1st input of circuit part VI.Another input of circuit part VI is coupled to resistance R 1.This is coupling in and is marked with dotted line among the figure.The output of circuit part VI is coupled to the 1st main electrode of switch element VIa.The 3rd output of circuit part IV is coupled to the control electrode of switch element VIa.This is coupling in and is marked with dotted line among Fig. 1.Circuit part III constitutes the device that produces signal S3, and signal S3 is a tolerance to desired light flux values.Comparator Va and circuit part Vb constitute the device V that regulates lamp operation according to luminous flux and signal S3 together.The 2nd input of comparator Va is connected with the output of circuit part III.The output of comparator Va is connected with the 2nd main electrode of switch element VIa.The 3rd main electrode of switch element VIa is connected with the input of circuit part Vb.The output of circuit part Vb is connected with the input of ballast device B.
The operation of circuit arrangement shown in Figure 1 is as follows.
When input K1 was connected with supply voltage source with K2, ballast device B produced the electric current that passes through fluorescent tube La from the supply voltage by supply voltage source output.Between the input of circuit part IV by present embodiment in the coupling of constituent apparatus I and II present signal S1 and S2.Circuit part IV is by signal S1 and S2 and be present in the luminous flux that form among the memory M is determined fluorescent tube.If use the value of the table of listing among value that the voltage by lamp tube current and fluorescent tube two ends determines and the memory M inconsistent, just draw light flux values by linear interpolation method.At the 1st output of circuit part IV a signal appears, the voltage of fluorescent tube two ends and to flow through lamp tube current be that the luminous flux of a side and fluorescent tube is that this signal is a tolerance for actual luminous flux under the clear and definite situation of relation between the opposing party.This signal also comes across the 1st input of comparator Va.Then come across the 2nd input of comparator Va as signal S3 to a kind of tolerance of the desired luminous flux of fluorescent tube.A signal also appears at the 3rd output of circuit part IV, under its effect, via control electrode the 3rd output of this switch element switch element VIa is remained in the 1st state, and under this state, the 2nd main electrode is connected conducting with the 3rd main electrode.Under this 1st state, the signal of the comparator Va output signal of a tolerance of the difference of actual luminous flux value of being determined by memory and desired luminous flux (promptly as) also comes across the input of circuit part Vb.Circuit part Vb regulates the operation of fluorescent tube with the signal that comes across comparator Va output.If determined luminous flux is lower than desired luminous flux, circuit part Vb just increases lamp tube current.When ballast device B comprises the DC-AC converter and fluorescent tube when being connected with converter, can pass through, for example, the duty factor and/or the frequency of one or more switch elements of DC-AC converter of regulating are wherein regulated and are flow through lamp tube current.
Different with the model of fluorescent tube, in the certain limit of the voltage that flows through lamp tube current and fluorescent tube two ends, with the voltage of fluorescent tube two ends and to flow through lamp tube current be a side and be that relation between the opposing party usually is not clear and definite with the luminous flux of fluorescent tube.In other words, voltage and the correlation that flows through lamp tube current for fluorescent tube two ends can find out two probable values as luminous flux in the table of memory M.In this case, just in the memory of a part that temporarily deposits forming circuit part IV by the voltage of the fluorescent tube two ends value definite in flowing through lamp tube current.This circuit part IV also produces a signal at the 3rd output of circuit part IV, under its effect, makes switch element VIa enter the 2nd state in can be at certain time intervals, and at this moment the 1st main electrode and the 3rd main electrode are connected conducting.Consequently also make the signal that produces by circuit part VI put on the input of circuit part Vb.Also come across the 2nd output of circuit part IV as a signal of the tolerance that flows through lamp current of up-to-date actual measurement simultaneously and therefore also appear at the 1st input of circuit part VI.Coupling between another input of resistance R 1 and circuit part VI means signal S2 is added to this another input.
The signal of circuit part VI output is controlled at the value that is approximately higher than nearest measured value 10% by circuit part Vb flowing through lamp tube current.After this past in time interval, the signal that relends the 2nd output that helps circuit part IV makes switch element enter the 1st state.Has higher value owing to flow through lamp tube current in during this time interval, so the temperature of fluorescent tube raises.The magnitude of voltage that is stored in fluorescent tube two ends before this time interval in the memory by the magnitude of voltage people to two ends of the fluorescent tube after this time interval compares, and device IV determines that voltage that it causes fluorescent tube two ends raises or reduces.If fluorescent tube is a kind of small low-voltage mercury discharge lamp pipe, and fluorescent tube two terminal voltages raise, and the temperature that just means this fluorescent tube is for corresponding to the lower temperature in the voltage of fluorescent tube two ends of determining before this time interval and the two kinds of values that flow through lamp current.Yet, if the lowered words of voltage of fluorescent tube two ends just mean that the temperature of this fluorescent tube is for corresponding to the higher temperature in fluorescent tube two terminal voltages of determining and the two kinds of values that flow through lamp current before this time interval.Two kinds of temperature values are corresponding to the different light flux values of the fluorescent tube in the table that is stored in memory M.Therefore according to the method for above-described definite lamp hole temperature, also just determined two possible light flux values which be actual value.Circuit part IV produces a signal that is used for a tolerance of definite luminous flux at its 1st output, and because switch element VIa still is in its 1st state, as mentioned above, the control of luminous flux also will be proceeded down.
Fig. 2 represents flowing through fluorescent tube (I in the low-pressure mercury discharge lamp L) electric current, the voltage (V of fluorescent tube two ends L) and the temperature of the cold spot of fluorescent tube be plotted on three mutually perpendicular axes of coordinates with arbitrary unit.
Fig. 2 is illustrated in the small low-voltage mercury discharge lamp voltage and the most of possible values that flows through the electric current of lamp corresponding to two temperature value lamp two ends of cold spot in the lamp, and data are resulting for measuring this lamp among the figure.The temperature value of these different minimum points of fluorescent tube is corresponding to different light flux values, so lamp current and lamp voltage are that the luminous flux of a side and electric light just neither be clear and definite for the relation between the opposing party.But device in a circuit according to the invention can be cleared up the problem of this ambiguity relevant with the luminous flux of controlling lamp with said method.
